The Game Changers: Indian Women in Sports

Hi Everyone! In this Episode, we discuss some examples of women who have become champions, while raising children and running a family - showing the true strength of a woman and the lack of truth in the norms created by society. I was extremely inspired by the dedication these woman had to their sport and can only hope to emmulate some of it. Hope you enjoy :)

Hii! There have been so many good things that have happened that I had to make an episode JUST to discuss all of them, hope you get as excited about them as I did. On another note, this episode was the first episode that I recorded without a script, so pardon the ums, wrong choices of words and a bit of rambling, I hope to practice and get better! Would love any thoughts or feedback at podcastthegamechangers@gmail.com. See you soon :)

Hello! Happy 2022! In this first episode of the new year, I have interviewed Mr VIDYUTH JAISIMHA, who is a certified BCCI coach and currently is the head coach for all women’s cricket in Hyderabad. Additionally, he has been the national coach for the Thailand men’s and women’s team and the Maldives national team. The first and only Cricket Coach from Hyderabad to be the National Cricket Coach of two countries, Thailand and Maldives. Under his coaching, Thailand won the six nation women’s tournament and became eligible to play the World Cup Qualifiers. Under his many achievements, he has also been the assistant coach for the SunRisers Hyderabad, SRH, an IPL team. He was also one of the eligible candidates that had applied for the post of Indian Women’s Cricket National Coach in December 2018 and 2021. His experiences and involvement shows there's a very positive future for women's cricket in India and around the world! See you soon :)

Hi Everyone! In this episode of The GameChangers, I had the privilege to be able to interview Karunya Keshav. Karunya Keshav is an independent sports writer. A lot of her writing is about cricket, and women in sport. Karunya is the co-author of the book 'The Fire Burns Blue', which is a history of women's cricket in India from the 1970s to around 2018. (I would definitely recommend this book for all those who haven't read it yet :)) The unique thing about this interview is the variety of stories talked about and the fact that her answers really allow new things to occur to you. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed listening to the answers! See you again next week :)

Hi Again! In this 3rd Episode of the GameChangers, I had the privilege of interviewing star table tennis player, Monalisa Baruah Mehta. She is an extremely important Assamese sports personality, and in addition to winning the Arjuna Award in 1987 she is a National champion in all the categories, sub junior, junior & senior. Something really special about this interview is the really positive perspective Mrs Mehta brought to the table that really made me look forward to a brighter future for women in sports. Enjoy her positivity and jovial outlook towards playing sport and see you next week :)

Hi Everyone! In this second episode of The Game Changers, we talk about the Heraean Games and open the treasure chest of an Indian Sportswoman in the year of 1952. I thoroughly enjoyed the research for this episode and consider it a great honour to be reciting the stories of these pioneer women who we all have so much to thank for. Hope you enjoy it and see you again next week :)
